Lincoln delivered this address on March 4, 1865, at the start of his second term, while the Civil War was nearing its end. Unlike his first inaugural, which tried to reassure the Southern states, this speech looked back on the war's causes and its cost. Its most quoted lines, asking for "malice toward none" and "charity for all," came in the closing paragraph. Lincoln was assassinated about six weeks later, so the speech became one of his final public statements, and it is still widely read today.
